We all know that things change. People change. Understanding changes. Ideas change. Even theological institutions change. In this episode, Chris and Eddie are joined by Dr. David F. Watson, Academic Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. David has helped change and shape the future of United, and has some ideas about how other theological institutions can move with the times. He looks to the rich history of the Christian tradition to form new ideas and train new pastors, all while being accountable to the Church universal.

David earned his Masters of Divinity at Perkins University in 1997 and his PhD at Southern Methodist University in 2005. He is the author of several books, including Scripture and the Life of God: Why the Bible Matters Today More than Ever.
